I went to Clontarf chiropractic in July 2009 because I suffered from lower back pain and a pulsing pain down my right arm. As I am young I didn't feel this was normal and as it had been going on for several years I was worried I was doing long term damage. I went to Garrett Connolly and he made a few painless adjustments and asked me to come back two weeks later. I didn't feel an immediate improvement but after my second visit I noticed things improving rapidly. Now I hardly ever have pain, I can enjoy sports again and I am very happy with the results. Previously I could never enjoy a lie in or sit watching tv for any length of time without feeling sore. Thankfully that is not the case now! I would recommend anyone who is concerned about their back to make an appointment.

I had suffered from sciatica for three months and had tried other forms of treatment, with no relief. I was in pain almost all of the time and could not walk 10 meters without having to stop 1 or 2 times due to severe pain and numbness. Upon the recommendation of my colleague, I started receiving adjustments from Garrett Connolly in the Clontarf Chiropractic Clinic approximately six months ago. After receiving chiropractic care from Garrett, I am pain free most of the time and able to pursue a moderate degree of exercise ( mostly walking and bicycling ) without pain or excessive discomfort. Besides giving great chiropractic care Garrett is always willing to answer questions I may have and explain them fully. Garrett gave me a full description of what was going on in my body as well as what would be done to improve it.
I wish I had gone to a chiropractor sooner than I did and I recommend chiropractic to others.

Prawie rok temu zachorowalem na rwe kulszowa. Nie moglem chodzic, spalem po trzy godziny na dobe - ból nie pozwalal na wiecej. Przez trzy miesiace odwiedzilem kilku lekarzy, bralem niezliczone ilosci lekarstw bez zadnej poprawy.
Z polecenia znajomego udalem sie do Clontarf Chiropractic Clinic w Dublinie. Po kilku zabiegach u Garretta Connolly ból zniknal, a ja moge teraz bez zadnych problemów chodzic i robic praktycznie wszystko.
Oprócz profesjonalnych zabiegów Garrett zawsze w sposób fachowy odpowiadal na moje pytania, wyjasnial mi, co sie stalo z moim kregoslupem i w jaki sposób on to zamierza naprawic. Zalecil mi równiez zestawy cwiczen, które musze wykonywac samodzielnie w celu unikniecia nawrotu schorzenia w przyszlosci. Jedyne, czego teraz zaluje, to to, ze udalem sie do Clontarf Chiropractic Clinic tak pózno. Chcialbym polecic te klinike i Garretta Connolly wszystkim, którzy maja problemy z kregoslupem.

Our baby had bad colic and a friend told us about chiropractic care for babies. We had tried all of the common remedies with no success. After the first session she was a different baby! We had no fears about chiropractic for our baby because I had attended your clinic before and had been very happy wiht the treatment I received. Our baby no longers suffers from colic, she is more relaxed and calm and seems so much happier to move her neck and kick her legs. Before the treatment her movements were quite limited. We haven't stopped recommending your services to our friends and their babies since. Thank you.

I had pain from the right side of my neck, in my shoulder and down into my arm. I had no concerns about chiropractic and I have to say that over my course of treatment with Dr Chris McMaster I have had relief from the pain, I have more energy and vitality and after each session I experience a good feeling all over.

I experienced severe pain in my lower back some time ago. I had been attending an osteopath for almost 8 weeks but the problem wasn't resolving. I was unable to sit in comfort for any length of time. A friend suggested you. Following an x ray on my first visit the problem was clearly defined and I started a course of sessions. Rapid and lasting improvement followed quickly. I have relief from my nagging pain and the worry that went with it. I was a bit concerned about chiropractic before I attended but the immediate sense of professionalism, care and the detailed explanation given to me on my first visit reduced my fears and with each visit and the experience of the treatment my confidence grew. Now I can sit in comfort, within less than six months I was back walking, riding my bicycle and taking long haul flights to Peru. I can bend, tie my shoelaces and move so much easier than for such a long time. What you guys did for me was brilliant and I have recommended you to many, many of my friends since.

I first sought chiropractic care on the advice of two work colleagues who were delighted with the treatment they had received at Clontarf. I was concerned that I would be pulled and twisted too much but that wasn't the case. I have experienced a total relief from pain together with an increase in energy and much greater flexibility. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Owen Dennis & Associates and in particular the doctor who looks after me - Dr Laurnen Edlund.

My back was badly injured when a truck collided with the bus I was on nearly 18 years ago. I had surgery but it didn’t relieve the pain. Over the years the pain got worse and worse. I had to have a hip replacement which I feel was caused by the back injury. Through all the specialists I have seen the only answer seemed to be more and more powerful painkillers. Earlier this year (2006) the pain was at such a stage that I really did consider just overdoing the painkillers to end it all – I couldn’t walk, sit, stand or even lie down without terrible pain. It affected everything I did or tried to do. I couldn’t even sleep.
A son’s friend, Derek, insisted on taking me from Ballyfermot, where I live, over to Clontarf Chiropractic in early September. I can’t believe the difference in how I feel now, two months later. After just four visits to Clontarf I feel so much better, I have long periods with no pain, I can move around freely. I feel like a completely new person. The treatment I had was simple but wonderful. It’s made a huge, huge difference to my life. I only wish that I had discovered the benefits all those years ago when my accident happened. I think there should be a chiropractor in every hospital in the country.

I first went to Clontarf Chiropractic because I'd hurt my back and was in complete agony. After a couple of sessions I felt absolutely fine. When I went again it was because I'd managed to put it out while pulling on a pair of boots! Another series of treatments made all the difference. Over the years whenever I've had a back problem I've gone for chiropractic treatment.
Now, however, I've changed that approach and pop in every three months for a bit of routine maintenance. Going regularly means that I haven't had any niggling pains and I haven't had to have lots of treatment sessions. I've taken on board the concept that your body needs looking after on a regular basis. We do it organically by eating healthier these days. But I reckon it's just as important to make sure all the mechanical bits are maintained too.
